The Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, stops at a nearby house when his car breaks down. The resident of the house, Molly Parker, greets him as if he were her cousin. He is invited inside only to find that Molly and her father are being held hostage by mobsters. The mobsters force Ralph to steal some jewels for them. Instead he double-crosses the crook, then rescues the hostages and defeats the remaining gangsters.
